Digital & Internet Center of Excellence (DICE)

The digital economy has been undergoing hyper growth globally as well as in India. Start-ups using the Internet as a backbone for solving big problems of customers in different sectors have been taking root at a very fast pace and securing funding to fuel high growth in a short span of time. The advent of affordable smart phones in India has resulted in a huge increase in Internet penetration with a large number of people using their smartphone as their first and only device to access the Internet. This proliferation of Internet connected smartphones has led to a huge addressable market space for a plethora of value propositions offered by Internet businesses. To cater to these smartphone customers, many of these businesses are employing a mobile first or mobile only strategy. A large number of innovative business models with some very interesting monetization options have been evolving over time.

The Digital & Internet Center of Excellence (DICE) at Great Lakes, Gurgaon has been set up to engage with Internet businesses and prepare our students for the growing opportunities in this space. DICE currently has the following activities:
